Miami Marlins

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Thousands of students from across South Florida attended the 9th annual CBS4 Weather Day Thursday prior to the Miami Marlins vs. Philadelphia Phillies game at Marlins Park.

Elementary and middle school students from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties were on hand as part of the fun-filled, science-focused educational field trip.

“We’re learning storms and how weather creates itself,” said one of the children attending the event.

“We learned about weather and about how it changes,” said another child.

CBS4 Chief Meteorologist Craig Setzer, along with Meteorologists Lissette Gonzalez, Michael Smith and John Guaraldi hosted the event from the field. CBS4’s Vanessa Borge was in the stands with all the young fans from schools across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
